I was looking into a rear sway bar from MM to compliment my three link systems I already have. Even though I studied a bunch of suspension crap I haven't really read up on something as simple as the sway bar. Which one would be good for me? How do they help and why? Here is a link to the ones that I was looking into. As you can see there are different types for different aplications. I would call MM but I don't think they want to be on the phone with me for over a hour.

Also if anybody that have them how does it ride? big difference? Rougher ride? The torque arm gave me a little more body roll but that's nothing compared to the cornering ablility I gained!

Have you given any thought to Steeda's adjustable rear sway bar that piggybacks your factory bar? I noticed a huge difference with mine.

I looked at steeda but I didn't like the look of it with the stock swaybar installed with it. Also I would like to stay with MM with my suspension.

You said you noticed a huge difference. In what areas?

Rear lateral control as far as entering and exiting corners. It helped reduce the "bunny hop" typical with the fox chassis as well. Overall, it made the car feel more responsive just like subframes help it feel more solid. Hope this helps.
